    Sorry. You’re not a tenant of this place. Maybe try another account with the same email address but a different password that is from a home or work or student or was made by your employer or by you or is attached to your domain name, and give us the code on your authenticator and the one we just pretended to email you and sorry something went wrong and we need to quit and you need teams classic or modern or your OneDrive for business or personal or the sync service isn’t running…

    Or local account.

      Reading this gave me PTSD. Locked out due to expired password (what is a reminder email, who needs those?), can’t access anything corporate, submitted ticket to IT on web portal, IT is trying to reach me via Teams…

      I’m a Microsoft engineer with 3 decades of experience.

      Please run sfc /scannow. If that doesn’t work, please try searching for updates or reinstalling drivers.

        Haha reinstall drivers is still an official way to fix things??? 3 and a half decades in and sounds like windows still “hold my beer” and self destructs like a plastic chair left in the sun.

        reboot is the only solution, followed by full reinstall which is the only solution. Or just use arch btw lol

        Ps: I don’t use arch but that joke is too easy to pass

        Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.

        All that being said, I’ve definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.

    You can’t use a VPN if it’s not a company device, so we’ll make it significantly easier and use a VDI.

    First, open the client which will require you to log in and MFA via text. Then you select the one and only environment to connect to, which will require a log in. Once you are connected to a pool you can RDP into your workstation or servers, that don’t retain usernames no matter how many times you try to save it.

    Oh and for security purposes it has a 5 minute lock policy for RDP. And another few minutes for the VDI session so you’ll have eto log back in twice.

      Don’t forget you have to change your password every 60 days for security, and cannot reuse the last 5 passwords.

    Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting “No”, “Never Remember Password”, unchecking “Stay Signed in”, disabling “Password Manager”

    I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don’t need automated help.

          Don’t use a browser. Use a dedicated password manager. It is far more secure than trying to memorize what is likely a predicable password. Humans are terrible at password. That is why you create a random password and then memorize it. You do that once and you are all set.

                Your security advice is shit because you’re shit at security, please take the hint and converse with somebody who wasn’t already explicitly opposed to every single word you type to them.

                  Literally everyone in the security industry recommends a good password manager. That’s standard practice.

    I never have to re-sign into, well, anything as long as I:

    • Don’t reformat/reinitialize the device I save the login on
    • Don’t log in from another device on services that only allow 1 concurrent login (like Steam)
    • Don’t clear my cookies

    The last item is gonna hurt a lot of the extreme privacy people. I know y’all never save cookies.

      I have to use this shit for work. If you don’t set your cookies to auto delete it is basically impossible to go through the Microsoft SSO after around a week. Just use a decent password manager if you can and press enter 4 or five times.

        It would be that easy, if not for “please approve login on your microsoft authenticator app” step which means i also have to pull out my phone, unlock it, find the stupid app and then type in the code

            You use two or more computers at the same time?

            This is directly from Steam’s support page on the topic:

            Steam does not support multiple players using one Steam account simultaneously - games associated with a Steam account are licensed for the sole use of the account holder.

            If multiple users attempt to log in and play simultaneously with one Steam account, the user who logged in first will eventually receive an “Invalid Steam UserID Ticket” error message and be forced to log back in to continue playing (if the first user logs back in, the second user will receive this error message).

            It’s literally worked that way since 2003.

    You can get stuck in a loop if you have multiple accounts such as a dev and production account.

    So if you’re in stuck in the dev account and need to log into production you get stuck in a loop of it trying to login as the dev account.

    The only way out is to find a dev site and log out from the dev account.

      I go to portal.azure.com and use the account switcher to sign in to second (prod) account there. This will make both accounts show up when logging in to a service without having to log out from the first.

    If the other comments knew the details, the response would be terror not annoyance:

    Management types in smaller, growing businesses are shockingly susceptible to the promise of “cleaning things up” by making everything a “Microsoft shop”, even when that means transferring data and control to Azure (competitors also try but MSFT almost always wins)

    They’re happy, they own nothing and they don’t even know it

    Note: this is largely referring to corporate accounts
